Coptic History Resources
Greetings all. I am currently doing some research on Coptic history at my university, focusing on the transition from the primarily Greco/Coptic to Arab culture during the middle ages, after the Arab invasion of 639. If anyone knows of any books, pdfs, or any resources in English they would be very much appreciated.
While I have a couple more resources, I am focusing on just a couple right now: Severus Ibn al-Muqaffa's History of the Coptic Patriarchs and Iris Habib Elmasry's The Story of the Copts. If anyone has a modern source based on their research, or even something much older that would be very beneficial.
